that may be sharp.
Alternatives to the Lesson: When students are finished, they can continue working
on their previous project that may not be done.
Procedure: Introduction:
Day 1:
a. Motivation- I will show the students my sample. We will learn briefly
about sugar skulls and the Day of the Dead ceremony. We will look at
different sugar skulls. And I will explain that we will be making a sugar skull
including things on it of interest to the student.
Day 1: students will be talking, and creating a sketch for their skull
with a list of 6-7 things of interest on it. They do not have to go
exactly by their sketch as artists like to change their minds, but they
need to have some sort of idea what they want their skull to look
like.
Day 2: Demonstration of the start of their sugar skull, and attaching
and carving in the clay.
1. pass out boards
2. pass out clay tools
3. pass out slabs
4. cups of water
Students will work and then 15 minutes before class is over, the
students will start to wrap up their pieces and clean up their areas.
